PHILADELPHIA—Rookie defensive end Vinny Curry will make his long-awaited debut for the Eagles on Monday night against Carolina.

Andy Reid is considering some other personnel changes with his 3-7 team riding a six-game losing streak but for the moment he’s ready to see if Curry, a second-round pick, can spice up the pass rush.

Curry, the 59th overall pick, was an outstanding pass rusher at Marshall but joined an Eagles team that thought it was loaded at his position with Pro Bowl ends Trent Cole and Jason Babin backed up by Brandon Graham, Darryl Tapp and Phillip Hunt. All five were ahead of Curry on the depth chart when camp opened.

Curry also needed more time to develop within the team’s unique wide-nine alignment that requires linemen to play the run as they’re attacking the quarterback instead of reading and reacting off the snap.

Curry was inactive for the first 10 games but the Eagles are well off last year’s pace of 50 sacks which tied for the NFL lead with Minnesota. Babin and Cole, who combined for 29 sacks last season, have teamed up for just six. Cole only has 1 1/2.

Reid is also considering sticking with veteran Jake Scott at right guard over Danny Watkins, who practiced all last week but was still a backup against the Redskins to Scott, who had just been signed off the street six days earlier.

Watkins, last year’s first-round pick, had missed three straight games with a severe ankle sprain but wasn’t playing consistently well, especially for a first-round pick in his second season.

Scott, 31, has seven years of NFL experience and is very familiar with the blocking scheme going back to his and coach Howard Mudd’s days together in Indianapolis, where Scott started four years and where Mudd coached the offensive line.
